Point taken. I sort of considered Skylake as new, but I misspoke. Have any Skylake systems not on Microsofts' approved list been sold with Windows 7 preinstalled? If yes, I'd consider that a problem, but not otherwise. I don't think it's their responsibility to support new devices that (according to this post) require significant restructuring of the OS to support.
